Reset Your Vagus Nerve
Вставка

- There are a variety of symptoms that could be caused by an imbalance of your vagus nerve. Your vagus nerve is not only your longest cranial nerve, but it more parts of your body than you can imagine!
The symptoms of an imbalanced vagus nerve include:
Heart palpitations
Increased blood pressure
Anxiety or Stress
Acid reflux, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea
Diseases of inflammation including heart disease, diabetes, cancer and autoimmune disease
Treatment of the vagus nerve is natural and gentle. No harsh drugs or surgery required.
To give you some more data about the vagus nerve, it works to balance your sympathetic, fight or flight nervous system. In fact it is the balance between the two which prevents the symptoms I list above from developing.
The sympathetic nervous system speeds up your heart; the vagus, as part of the parasympathetic nervous system, slows it down.
You've likely heart of the gut-brain connection. When it comes to the primary pathway whereby your body is communicating to your brain, the one from your gut (microbiome) to your brain is the most prevalent one used and it passes through your vagus nerve. Your microbiome is estimated to contain 80 to 100 trillion bacteria plus parasites, viruses and fungal species. Your body, as a comparison, contains 40 to 60 trillion cells.
The relationship between your gut and your brain is very interesting. Your microbiome contains both beneficial and hostile bacteria and 70% of your immune system is housed in your gut to prevent hostile bacteria from gaining entry intro your body's bloodstream. But enough hostile bacteria create toxins which produce lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and they overwhelm the immune system triggering inflammation and leading to the inflammatory diseases killing most Americans.
Here's where the vagus nerve comes in: How responsive your body is to the early triggers depends on how burdened your vagus nerve is from other sources. In other words, a healthy vagus nerve will enhance immune function and your body will be robust in its response to the bad organisms.
Further, the vagus nerve can be involved in gastroparesis or slowed digestion. If you feel like your food just "sits there" in your gut for hours, this is a symptom of slowed digestion.
The vagus nerve also influences the release of enzymes from the pancreas, crucial to digestion of all types of food.
Your vagus supports lung function - breathing and respiration. And the vagus is involved in detoxification through your liver and kidneys.
The vagus also manages fluid and electrolyte balance affecting your blood pressure.
Finally, your vagus nerve involves emotional regulation - how you perceives the world around you and whether you react to it feeling stress, anxiety, moodiness and more. The vagus nerve is like a sixth sense, creating homeostasis when functioning normally and emotional instability when malfunctioning.
I hope you've gained a new found respect for your vagus nerve! Simple exercises such as humming, belly breathing (box breathing), gargling, and other relaxation techniques can help take the edge off an imbalanced vagus nerve.
There is also a vagus nerve stimulator the is quite affordable that you can use at home. Contact my office for more information on it: 727-335-0400. The device is simple to use but it would be part of a coordinated program, not a "magic pill" as it were.
Vagus nerve imbalance is common yet very treatable as part of a program that addresses gut and immune and hormonal health naturally.

The first part is great explanation of the background. The 'how to' part start at 10:08 .
What an amazing wiring / communication system! Makes me wonder what other parts of the human body get taken for granted, or forgotten, until they malfunction!
What my wife and I did was we have a light breakfast and around 1:00pm we switched to our Dinner, aka, Supper meal and about 5:30 pm we have a light lunch meal so we don't go to be after heavy eating. We switched lunch with dinner so our big meal is at noon time. Neither of us work and I am retired so we can do that.
Is there something that can calm the Vague nerve.
The gargling salt water helped me, thanks
Good video, more info on the actual resetting please and thank you x
Great presentation !! My wife and I both knew about the gut being the second brain ,but your info greatly expanded on that !!
Great video! I just learned of the vagal nerve connection to A fib, and. found I was already doing the breathing exercise having noted that it helped my A fib symptoms. I had just figured that much out on my own and now find it is a suggested strategy !
I am now experimenting with changes in my diet like eating fewer low carbs. I have not gone Keto but wonder about that too. So far I have not heard a physicians advocate that
Very informative. I've followed your videos due to my acid reflux and, I suspect, hlatial hernia. By the way, the body mike you've worn recently sure makes a difference. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine when UA-camrs sound like they're speaking from the other end of a barn. 😊❤❤
Superb description of the Vagus nerve. Its importance in our health.
What a great presentation on such a fascinating topic! I’ve watched countless UA-cam videos on diet, exercise, and health issues in general. This one is an invaluable addition to my attempts to optimize my well being. Thank you, Dr. Vikki, new subscriber here! 🤗
Will chiropractics help reset the vagus nerve?
Thank you Dr Vikki.! ⭐️
I was able to prove, for myself at least that consumption of Canola Oil Margerine triggers heart palpitations fairly directly. For what that is worth.
Seed oils are bad for our health.
Seed oils are killers for sure!
I eat a salad after dinner with apple cider vinegar, always keeps the heart burn at bay!
Blessing too you... I very seldom get it in the day time, It is at Night unfortunately. I had surgery polp, end up with a stoma 202 September, then reverse surgery 2023 July 2023. Thank God so far my system works, yet BM does what it want little constipated, then I
questioning it but i
make 1-2 BM. I do have blood pressure... I am trying to go natural to eat right. Yet a sometime I will beng, and will suffer for a couple of days then try to eat right. But i noted i cannot eat after 7:00 pm light fruit. Yet i am 69, I am being more cautious. Because
Nice insight
What can be done to reset the system
10:13
Basics: belly breathing or box breathing(inhale and exhale looked up UA-cam videos). This will calm your vagus nerve down, Gargle with salt water. It’s the gargling movement. Using a tens unit to stimulate the vagus nerve. Humming is a very good also.
From me: check out videos from STOP CHASING PAIN with more great exercises. 😊
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this woman. She's the best on the www.
Thank you for your videos.
Thank you
I live in Houston. Do you consult over zoom? I need help bad
can you please let me know what is the connection between the sliding hiatus hernia, and the Vagus nerve? I have a sliding hiatus and recently I have had numbness in my arms and feet and my blood pressure is too low I was not like this before and never had low blood pressure!!! All the symptoms of a sliding hiatus hernia I have them daily. All of the hiatus hernia and low blood pressure and numbness started together last December. My blood tests all are fine and my Brain and spine on MRI are good. All we found on endoscopy was a sliding hiatus hernia but they kept saying not too big to do surgery and had no explanation for numbness from neurology after too Many tests. I had a gastric bypass in 2020 and all these symptoms started last December only. Last month we found the hiatus hernia
so strengthening vagal tone through exercises will eliminate the hernia and your stomach will pop back into the place where it belongs?
arrythmias too I would think. I have stomach issues and since then I have had arrhythmias and afib and svt.
Do you treat any patients with LDN ?
My resting heart rate is 72. I’m a 69 yo woman. How concerned should I be? I’m going to implement your suggestions! 😨
Your resting heart rate, is perfect.
@@livesimple3702 Whew! Thank you! 🤗
That’s really healthy. I’m 23 and mine is around 80-90 😂
I’m 70 and fast heart had thyroid cancer in past on leveroxin and bisoprol and riverobaxam Really worried
My stomach has never been right since I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Check out a video called: Emily Penton: "I Resolved My Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Mental Health Disorders, and Lost 120lbs!" Anthony Chaffee MD
Thanks for saying 50 ok resting heart rate
Isn’t 50 resting HR too low? I thought 60 was the minimum.
50 isn’t low if you’re a trained athlete. Some well-condition folks can be in the 40s. It may be low for someone who never moves though.
@@cozyfalcon I know that. I meant in general, that is too low.
